Also called citronella, the cymbopogon citratus is a grass -one of more than 55 kinds of grass-, a fragant one. Used for cooking -very common in Asian cuisine- and for ‘medical purposes’, but it is also a fine plant for the garden.

“Plant lemon grass in big pots for the patio… it repels mosquitoes and it grows tall & thick providing a lot of privacy.” shares Anna Bumbgarner in Pinterest

As you can guess my doctor and I had a fine time, we had a whole evening to spend together -no calls from the hospital!!-, had dinner in a nice place, drank a bottle of wine -good one-, share the pleassure of being together. No fancy presents, just chocolates both ways… and a wonderful evening. Thank you my darling dear.
